Is it possible to set the text font to colors other than black in the body of posts? ---

I’d really like to know this, too. The idea of having to do code injections for all these things is seriously off-putting. I’m a day-or-two out from my trial finishing and I confess this is something that’s giving me pause for thought. ---

Are you wanting one color throughout the post body, or something more complex? It should be one line of code injection once, if that’s the case. :). Happy to help you come up with what works if tit can link your site. :) ---

Thanks for the quick response! In my case, there are times that I’d like specific words, sentences or pars to be a different colour. ---

If you are posting only (not emailing a newsletter), then you might use css to switch bold, italics, or underline (or a combination of two) to be a color instead. This example does highlighting, but switch color for background-color and you’ll be set. > **[Easy Ghost highlights in the editor window (no HTML!)](https://www.spectralwebservices.com/blog/easy-ghost-highlights-in-the-editor-window-no-html/)** > > How to trick the Ghost editor into letting you highlight your text, without needing to write any HTML or Markdown. ---

Ah, okay. Thanks Cathy. I wouldn’t say that’s a very user-friendly approach, but I’m fast learning that Ghost leans far more heavily towards “lightweight” than it does to fully featured. Had been hoping for more of a middle ground, tbh. Like, “the very basics of a rich text editor”, haha. This has all gotten me a bit grumpy, tbh! Wishing I’d done a lot more of a deep dive on this before I’d shelled out for an annual plan.
